Product Description From the cover blurb:
The history of this world damous brand began back in 1883, when Francesco Peck, delicatessen owner in Prague, decided to open a shop with an annexxed processing establishment in Milan.
His name quickly eached the heights of Milanese gastronomy, becoming a true symbol of Milan like the Duomol, La Scala and Bocconi University.
Peck soon became a meeting place of the intelligentsia: around its tables sat artists, journalists, writers and actors. Even D'Annunzio with Bacchello, Vergani, Monelli and Marcha, frequently attended the "Sbafing Club".
"Time and again, we were told" - recall the Stoppani brothers, Peck's owners for nearly 30 years - "that the best trade to choose in one where a morsel was always to be had, no matter what, be it that of a baker, a butcher, or grocer".
Today after the success of Angelo, Mario and Remo, it can be said that the 'morsel' is no longer bread and salami, but caviar and champagne.
The search for quality is Peck's primary aim, achieved through careful selection of products from around the world.
